124. Bryan: his son; married
Mary, daughter of Daniel Mac-
Donnell, whose grand-nephew was
M.P. for the county of Clare. The
issue of that marriage were four-
teen sons and seven daughters.
The eldest of these sons, Eugene,
raised a company of 100 men at
his own expense, at the time of the
formation of the Clare Eegiment,
of which he was afterwards Cap-
tain ; and was killed at the battle
of Marsaglier, in Piedmont. Three
other brothers of this Eugene,
namely, — 1. Charles, 2. Nicholas,
and 3. Andrew (who died in 1755)
went to, and also served as officers
of distinction in, the Army of
France, where some of their de-

According to Dwyer, the O'Cahans, of whom the *' Keane" family of
Beech Park is a branch, had in the county Clare two castles in the reign
of Queen Elizabeth ; one on Inis Catha (or Scattery Island), at Kilrush,
occupied by a Charles O'Cahan (living in 1584), who was called a *' corboe,"
and who filled some official position, tem;p. King Henry VIII. ; and another
at Ballykett, occupied by a James Cahane. That Charles (who, in Parrot's
Eegistry of Irish Castles of that date, is described under the name of
" Colloo," and who was slain by a follower of O'Donnell, Chief of Tir-
connell, in his raid to the county Clare, A.D. 1599,) was the son of James
O'Cahan, who also resided on Scattery Island in 1543 ; and from whom
this family is descended.

A golden bell which belonged to the Abbey on Scattery Island, and
which until lately was in the possession of Captain Fitzgerald, K.N., C.B.,
Kilkee, was transferred by that gentleman to, and was in 1881 in the

* Keane : There were also in the county Clare members of an ancient Irish family
named O'Cain (" cain :" Irish, chaste), pronounced "O'Koin," and variously an gficised
Cain, Kain, Kean, Keane, and Coyne ; but that family was quite distinct from the
"O'Cahan" family, Princes of Limavady, in the county Derry. Some of the
*' O'Cahan" family also settled in the counties of Westmeath and Mayo ; but in Clare
they were, as distinguished from the " O'Cahan" family, known as O'Cain Ton It
Gaoth.

Of the 0' Cain family was Joseph Stirling Coyne, bom at Birr in 1805. He was
son of an officer, and received his education at Dungannon School. He was intended
for the Bar, but ultimately devoted himself entirely to Hterature, chiefly dramatic.
His first piece, The Phrenologist, was produced at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, in 1835.
... He contributed to several London papers, and, with Mark Lemon and Henry
Mayhew, was one of the projectors and original contributors to Punch. Coyne was
the author of The Scenery and Antiquity of Ireland, and some works of fiction. He
died on the 18th July, 1868.

possession of, the late Mr. Marcus Keane, of Beeck Park, by whom it was
up to his death carefully preserved.

Commencing with James, brother of Hugh O'Oahan who is No. 119
on the " Keane" (No. 2) pedigree, the following is the genealogy, as far as
we can trace it :

119. James O'Cahan, of Scattery
Island, Kilrush, county Clare ; son
of Daniel; living in 1543.

(We are unable to trace the de-
scent down to Owen O'Cahan,*
who, about the middle of the 17 th

century, settled at Ballyvoe, near
Ennis, and married Judith, dau. of
Sir Robert Shaw, of Galway, and
had issue. — See Burke's Landed
Gentry.)

This family is believed to be a branch of the " Cahill" family of Con-
naught, which derived its name from Cathal, who is No. 102 on the
" Cahill" of Connaught pedigree ; and was in Irish known as O'Ciardha
(" ciar :" Irish, a dark-grey colour)^ anglicised O'Oearry, O'Carry, O'Carrie,
Carry, Carey, and Keary.

Thomas O'Ciardha, brother of Dermod O'Ciardha of OfFaley, called
Thomas Baintreahhachd (or Thomas *' the Widower"), was the ancestor of
" Keary," of Fore, county Meath. This Thomas lived on the Hill com-
manding a view of the famous Abbey founded at Fore by St. Fechin ; and
was killed at the burning of the Abbey by the Cromwellians, a.d. 1654.
Commencing with said Thomas, the following is the pedigree of this
family:

1. Thomas had three sons,
Thomas, Patrick, and James, the
tihree of whom sought refuge, and
found it, with Hugh O'Byrne, of
Dublin, one of the Confederate
Catholics ; Patrick and James d.
mm., but the eldest son :

2. Thomas m. Mary O'Bjrrne,
i^ece of the above-named Hugh,
and had three sons :

I. Thomas ;

II. Patrick; III. Hugh, both of
whom went to Spain, where
the latter died in 1700. Patrick
entered the Spanish service.

* Owen 0' Cahan : Some are of opinion that the Keanes of Beech Park are con-
npcted only in the Female line with the Cahans of Scattery Island ; and that this
Jwen who settled at Ballyvoe, about the middle of the 17th century, went there from
;he North of Ireland, at the time of the Plantation of Ulster.
